Verenelis Gärtli - Based on the novel of the same name by Tim Krohn

Description

Vrenelis Gärtli
Based on the novel of the same name by Tim Krohn Trigger warning: A longer scene will take place in complete darkness!!! What does homeland mean in a world that is becoming increasingly digital, faster, and more anonymous? Where do we find security when real encounters become rarer? Can theater be a home?
Based on Tim Krohn's mythic Alpine novel «Vrenelis Gärtli», an evening of theater is created that aims to let us experience human and inhumane desires directly.
At the center are two unusual characters: the Vreneli and the Bersiäneli. They move through the Gnuusch of a life – feeling, stumbling, searching. For Vreneli, the journey through the mountain world also becomes a journey inward: Who am I? Where do I belong? Where is my place in this world? The search for identity becomes a search for homeland – not just as a place, but as a feeling of belonging.
They tell, doubt, laugh, reach boundaries – and in doing so, create a world that seems both strange and familiar.
Perhaps theater becomes a home exactly there: in shared listening, in wonder, in passing on stories.
